Liberty University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

Justin

The worst thing about Liberty is the rules. There is a curfew, separated dorms, and severe penalties for alcohol possession. These rules may seem unpleasant at first but in reality they are there to maintain a safe, clean and focused learning environment.

Gaye

The only thing that I have found difficult is not being able to ask questions in person. This is an online format and distance is a small inconvenience but at my age, I don't want to be on campus with all of the young kids.

Eric

Some professors are unorganized( mostly men teachers). And some don't post grades.

Rachel

My experience has been good with my university I don't have any complaints.

Brandon

The worst part about Liberty University is that you can sometimes get lost in the "Liberty Bubble" and not come to terms with the "real" world outside. There is plenty of talk about the real world, but due to the Liberty Way (rules/guides for student conduct) Liberty is much different from many other colleges and what you will most likely find outsite of college.

Devon

The parking freshmen are allowed to have cars and theres not room for them.

Tricia

The hardest thing about Liberty is finding the best way to get involved. There are a lot of groups and associations and oppurtunities to do things, but it can be difficult to know where you will be the most helpful. I never thought that a school could have too many student groups, but Liberty is trying to reach that goal.

Abby

The tuition is a little pricey.

Amber

it has a lot of rules but if we didnt have them then there would be no controll by the school.

Stephen

The fianancial aid deptartment

Sarah

I honestly can't say there is a bad thing about this school, but if I really have to say something, it would be the size/ population growth and also the academics here. I love the fact that this school allows pretty much anyone to come get a college education, but being a girl who grew up working extremeley hard to get into a good school -I would love to see Liberty become a stronger academic school. What I mean by this is I would love to see if become more competitive.

Noelia

The worst thing about Liberty University is that it is not as well known as I would like. Many people in the south know of LU, but I wish that it would be better known all around the world.

Mary

They are building non-essential attractions to attract newcomers instead of focusing on improving student living.

Sarah

The size of my school is its biggest disadvantage. Sometimes its hard to get plugged in.

Nicholas

The worst thing about my school is the cost. Every student knows the burden of paying for college. Even though the school does what it can to keep all students attending the university, unfortunately, many students are not able to return after a number of semesters due to cost. While I admit the school does more than one would expect a school to do to ensure students are able to attend and continue to attend, the need is always greater than the help available.

Brittany

Their are different political views and the school is not diverse at all.

Rebekuh

Liberty University is an ultra conservative school which likes to brag that it is more liberally minded than it actually is. The Faculy, Admin, and Staff do not take liberal minded people seriously and disregard the importance of our environment today. Their blindness to their own downfalls is the worst thing about this school.

Veornita

None.

Sherwood

Perhaps the worst thing about Liberty is that I have graduated already :). Liberty is one of the few institutions in the United States that is growing exponentially in terms of enrollment, endowment, and facilities. Liberty is the most exciting and informative place for evangelical Christians finding themselves in life. I wish I could still be a part of the dynamic and wonderful campus.

Ricky

There are none

Monica

One thing that is horrible at the school, not necessarily the school is the parking. The student population is growing so many people are moving off campus and there are very few convenient parking spaces for commuters.

Wes

Administration is not very helpful.

Nathan

For me personally, I would say I find it hard to balance a strong academic lifestyle with all of the social, recreational, and spiritual aspects that are prevalent at Liberty University. That is however a personal problem that can be managed with better time management. There is also very limited parking, but they're in the process of fixing that.

Kristy

the worst thing about my school is the fact that RAs do not enforce many of the rules that are the foudation for the Liberty experience. LU has foundations on Biblical truths, and some rules that have been part of Liberty are still in effect but are not being enforced (like dresscode at times). It is frustrating because I know Dr. Falwell would still want these things enforced, and it makes LU such a better place if the expectiations are upheld.

Whitney

I'm in love with Liberty. They love us and really want to take care of us. However, it is a private school because of its Christian-foundation in everything, and consequently is more expensive than a typical state school. That's probably the most frustrating thing for most people, because we really do want to be there, and they want us to go, but the money gets in the way sometimes.

Orlando

Traffic in the morning bad due to the high growth experienced these past few years.

Grace

The worst thing about my school is the cost. Many students have a hard time paying for the payments of room, board, class, and food. Many students here try to balance a job, and studies. Another worst is the food in the cafeteria. I think they get it from Sodexo, but I do not know. Most of the time I do not know what is on the main line. The theatre stage, and seats are somewhat small. It is uncomfortable sometimes in the dark room watching a play. Another worst objection about the school is the wait for the bus.

Michael

The worst thing about my school is the availability of parking.

Danielle

There is nothing that bad about this school.

Lindsay

Available parking.

shea

personal space, most rooms have three people in one room. it gets a little crowded.

Karyn

The worst thing about my school are the rules that are strictly enforced. The college years are known as a time of rebellion, so a good amount of students, especially freshman, do not enjoy the rules. On the flip side, being the Southern Baptist Christian School it is, most of the students do not have a problem with the rules, and like I, enjoy not having to put up with potential problems such as drunk roommates or distracting clothing.

Steven

They are runing out of room for parking.

natasha

Not enough space for all the people.

Tiffany

my dog not here I miss him

Jessica

The worst thing is that Liberty is growing very fast and somethings like parking haven't been able to keep up. It is only a minor inconvience though.

Matthew

The Price. It is everything I would want to have in a school, but it is really pricey. They do however offer a lot of opportunities to earn that money back, so it isn't like they are taking your money, and not doing anything to get it back to you.

Melissa

Although the school is very good, it has grown so much in a small amount of time, so the school is still trying to keep up with the growth. Right now it feels just a little crowded, but once they build more, it will be just fine. It may also be that I am from a small town, so the school is bigger than my home town.

richard

lately my school has transitioned their main focus. its more about quanity over quality. it all about getting 25,000 on campus and becoming the biggest christian university. when i was a freshmen the focus was different, it was about being the worlds most exciting university . i really miss those times.

Mike

Financial Aid really slow and non helpful

Elizabeth

Parking and food in the dining hall. The food has improved, but the parking situation has not. To many freshman bring their cars when they don't need to and so many people attend Liberty each year that the school can barely keep up. And they don't with parking.

Jo

The worst thing about my school is that we don?t have a permanent recycling program yet, which is an important feature to have in today?s world.

meredith

the i consider the worst of my school is the food in the cafftieria.

Jackie

Compared to schools like the University of Virginia, Liberty is very small. Because of this, we lack many of the resourses like multiple libraries that other larger universities possess. I am a member of the debate team at Liberty. While researching for debate, I often require books that Liberty does not possess, since our library is so small. I believe the lack of resources it the worst thing about Liberty University.

John

Sometimes various events or ideals seemed pressed upon individuals due to strong incentive to be a, "family."

Kelsey

I think the school tends to spend money on unnecessary luxuries, such as the ski slope, the new barnes and nobles, etc., while the dorms on campus are in desperate need of renovation and expansion.

Nicholas

Not nearly enough parking!! Everyone always gets tickets or towed.

Christian

I believe the worst thing about Liberty is the portion of the student body that does not care to learn. Good teacher, administration, facilities, and material can only go so far with a group of people that are lazy and beligerent. There seems to be quite a bit more of this population at LU due to lax admission. Liberty could be stricter on admission policy. I'm pretty sure they let just about anybody in. It takes a lot of credibility away from LU.

Cassi

How expensive it is. I a poor girl I can't afford it but I have been blessed with money and know God will provide.

Joshua

Liberty University is extremely conservative politically speaking and not very tolerant of liberal minds. There is curfew, no co-ed dorms or visitors of opposite sex, and quite a few rules including but not limited to guys having to wear collared shirts and not have long hair.
